PSA: you can't delete photos uploaded to . So don't (accidentally) upload a nude to lemmy. That would be bad 😱

Oh, and if you delete your account? It doesn't delete your uploaded photos. And good luck getting your instance admin to delete it; it requires a manual db query, api call, and — oh, none of this is documented? Welcome to my nightmare 💣🤯

@MichaelAltfield this is literally how all of fediverse works, everyone caches their own images for speed

Lemmy also doesn't allow banned users to delete their content. Not great.

@MichaelAltfield this is how Mastodon kinda works too though. If you delete a post, you can’t be sure other instances delete it too, anything at all federated has basically no assurance it won’t be kept around

@ThePlant In the case of the article, the image never federated.
